"War la Disunion.**
The political results of the present years ere
the most important in the annals of the world.
Never before have interests of such magnitude
been snbmited to the rulers of the nation. Tbey
sbonld be decided not by selfish magnates, governed by ambition and regardless of tbe welfare of
the subject—not by tbe leaders now wielding the
power of the nation, which for four years they
have not ceaBed to abuse—but by the voice of the
people freed from ibe yoke of tyranny ; the people, deeply interested in all that concerns the
national welfare,intelligent to perceive, aDd, we
trust, courageous to withstand the insidious
dangers which menace the liberties of the country, and threaten with servitude them aud tbeir
posterity. While an appeal is possible to an intelligent people, deeply aad personally interested
in the event tbeir intelligent choice will decide,
the patriot need not despair of the country. It
is only needed to enligbted the patriotic masses.
Let them once conceive the importance of the
Presidential election, and all will be well.
Under a monarchy the only hope of saving tbe
country from ruin would lie in the armed resistance to the ambitious officials who are abusing
power for the furtherance of selfish aims, burling
them, by revolution, from the position tbey have
disgraced. But, in America, convince tbe honest
masses, and arouse them to action, and their omnipotent voice overthrows with a breath the despotism which manacles a free people.
What are the issues involved in the pending
Presidential election ? It is not a question of tbis
or that man to fill tbe Presidential chair ; of this
party or lhat to bold position of trust; but it is
a question whether tbe country shall again be
prosperous, or be overwhelmed in ruin—whether
hecatombs shall continue to be sacrificed on tbe
altar ol strile, perishing in vain, or peace shall
smile again upon tbe land, and harmony reign
ODce more where discord now hojds sway. It is a
question whether we shall maintain the liberty
achieved by tbe heroes of the Revolution, and embalmed b? the sages of the Republic in that noble Constitution wbich gave the country two generations of peace and unexampled prosperity, or
loose all constitutional freedom, and be subject
to the sway of leaders wielding irresponsible power, baBed on coercion and upheld by military force
embodied in tbe negro bayonets. These are some
of tbe questions tbe people are to decide in the
pending election ; and that decision will not merely affect the destiny of this country, or tbis age,
but tbe destiny of the world, and the cause of advancement throughout all time.
The first iesue that presents itself to the mind, is
tbe question of peace or war. And this is not a
question of restoring tbe Union by war; but
whether tbe Government shall continue vain efforts,
whose only result is. and will ever be, the fruitless
waste af blood aud treasure, with tbe sole effect of
widening tbe breach it is intended to close. The
issue ia not whether Mr- Lincoln shall conquer the
South, and tben rule tbe North by the votes of
bogus States, based oo negro bayonets—he may
partially occupy Stales enough during the present campaign to eneble bim to secure his own
election by their votes of men of straw—aod he
may do tbis under the plea of military necessity
as a means of "suppressing tbe rebellion," but tbe
South will remain uoconquered, though the liberties of the North be lost. Tbe question is not of
conquering tbe South. Every mind not blinded by
prejudice or ambition, must see tbat by all tbe
probabilities of military science, that is impossible.
The issue before the Northern people now is
whether by a return to conservative principles
peace shall be restored, or whether the best energies ot the nation shall be sacrificed in vain, ita
resources wasted, and tbe fresh young blood of its
best and bravest hearts be poured ont like water,
all to no purpose but to fertilize the soil and crimson the streams of the Southern land.
The South cannot be restored to the Union by
force. Douglas never uttered a truth reoie pregnant witb wisdom than when he exclaimed in
oracular tone, "war is disunion;" memorable
words, uttered in one of those sunflashes of prescience wbich sometimes burst upon souls of lofty
genius. War is disunion', memorable truth,
wbicb future ages will receive aB an axiom, and
republics will blazon on their banners as a warning against tbe perils of strife. When all else
associated with Douglas is lost, buried amid the
rubbish of time, he will be remembered away down
in tbe centuries to come—tbose ages of happiness
and peace—as the sage, who standing beside tbe
gulf that was beginning to yawn in the midst oi
his country, uttered the memorable words of warning, and died with the noblest thoughts of his
giant mind fresh upon his lips, the crowning utterance of a royal intellect : "War is Disunion."
Yes, war is disunion. God never designed Republics to be cemented with blood. Like all high
and noble things tbey partake of the nature of
Heaven-descended troth, whose triumphs are all
bloodless. Tbese modern Uzzlah<i, wbo presumptuously set forth the unhallowed arm of violence to
support the car ot human progress, like him of
old will be smitten of Heaven, and leave their
names a curse in the chronicles of freedom, to
warn others from the path where wisdom became
madness, philanthropy changed to ferocity, and
energy and zeal only wrought out ior their possessors a heritage of infamy.—New York News.
An ingenious device for picking pockets has been invented by the rebel
prisoners confined at Wheeling, Ta.
When a new prisoner arrives some one
of the initiated starts the cry of "fresh."
whkh is understood to convey the knowledge of tbe arrival. When the new
prisoner is ushered in be is immediately
seized by the occupants of the room,
placed in a blanket and thro urn up. They
continue to toss tbe new coiner in this
manner until his pocket-book falls out,
when he is released and tbe pocket-book
is confiscated.

Tbe Doctrine of Retaliation*
The letter of Mr. Yallandigham will stir np the
bile of abolitionism beyond all former example.
Let them growl. It will be more profitable to
study it carefully. They should understand it
well, for it concerns them more than any other
c'asB io the community. The army was to be
poisoned against ns, and made to believe that we
were enemies as bitter and as hostile as the Southern soldiers, lacking only the courage or opportunity to make us as dangerous. For several
years tbe plan has been carried out by all tbe
leading abolition orators and editors. Tbe first
step in tbe programme was to exclude every paper
from the army but Abolition papers, in order that
the truth might not reach the soldiers.
A miserable administration and a few pliant
tools in the shape of political generals, made this
first step easy ot accomplishment; and the armies
ofthe country, for nearly two years, have been fed
solely and exclusively upon tbe infamous falsehoods and calumnies spread before tbem in tbe
foulest sheets ot the country. Every aot, every
word, every sentiment of ours went to tbe army
brough the distorted medium of Abolitionism.
We were daily denounced for two years as "traitors." It was pretended that illegal organisations
were in existence throughout tbe country, whose
objects were active co operation with the Southern army. When our armies were defeated, we
were said to be in tbe streets rejoicing; and- in
mourning when the same fate overtook tbe armies
ofour enemies, We were held up as In tbe rear,
hostile to the men who had gooe forth from our
own city and county, and mediating schemes
against the families and relationsethey have left
behind. The inveution and malice of Abolitionism exhausted itself in false insinuation, lies, forgeries and iniquities of every description, to
achieve the one grand object—the poisoning of
tbe army against their fellow-citizens.
The end of Ablitionism has been accomplished
to some extent. The army has been poisoned
against us by fraud, by force, and by forgery. Tbe
next great step was to Use tbe array against us,
when we had become too powerful to be oVefaWed
or hurt by the cowards at home. A good opportunity presented itself in many localities when the
furloughed soldiers oame home. Many of tbe men
believed Wbat bad beeu so frequently repeated,
and never denied, so far as they were able to find
out, have come borne hostile to us. Doea Abolitionism hope to stir up the tumult and then quietly slink away under the pretence of disapprobation?
Does it believe us so silly as tojeonsider the soldiers
whom tbey may instigate against us aa tbe chief
criminals? Let it not deoive itself. Tbe mass of
tbe Democracy have too- much sense. We kuow
where the real guilt Met. We know, and have
known many years, tbe instigators of tbe violence.
Hence we have come to the eonoloslon, sifter
waiting nearly three years of justice of some kind
or otber, to fail back upon tbe well-known aud
elementary principle of self-defense, the doeirine
of retaliation upon the persons and property of
those who are inciting by thiir language the
\ vicknee whieh we Bufltsr;—Dayton Elnpire.
Sala on Butler.
George Agustus Sala, tbe American correspond
dent of the London Telegraph, devotes a column
or two to Gen. Butler. He tells of certain '"ladies
of position and standing in New Orleans, who
were sent to the calaboose for making faces at a
Federal officer wbo passed along the street." Tha
correspondent then goes on to ask. "Do yon know
wbat kind of a plaoe is tbe calaboose?" and tha
answer is; "It is the common and filthy Bridewell of New Orleans, where ibe most debauched
characters are confined, and where qnadroon slave
giils are sent by their owners to be flogged."
Ere many days I may bear something more definite regarding the achievements of this notorious
person. Meanwhile it is, perhaps, to be regretted
tbat oil comstances should be so much against
him. He may be the kindliest of living inen, bnt
lo his photograph be bas certainly a countenance
more villainous than was ever seen out of Madame
Tassaud's chamber of horrors. Imagine the Grand
Duke Constautine--not the present one, but Nicholas's brother—grafted on the late Mr. Manning.
Tbere, facially, ypo bave Benjamin F. Boiler.
But what is there in a man's face? It is seldom
the index lo his'mind. Sir Hudson Lowe bad the
appearance of the hyena, and yet everybody
knows bim to have been a high-minded and humane character. Haynatf was disagreeably tika a
cat-a-mountaio; yet I haVe heard Austrian officers
declare that the late Field Marshal had been scandalously belled, and that he never bad aught to
do with the outrage of Madame de Maderspaehfi
At Hambnrg his memory is yet cherished—not by
the administration of tbe Kursnal, bnt by all philanthropists; for Winniug twenty thousand florins
at rouge et noir, he gave ten thousand to the poor
of the town*
When tbe Southern planters are all reduced to
beggary, when down-east pedleffl loaf in their Ver*
andahs, and Wall street brokers gather tbeir cotton crops, when their wives are glad to nurse babies of tlie c< d-fish aristocracy of Boston, and.
the''shoddy''aristocracy of New York, and their
daughters are toiling at tbe sewing machines of
Philadelphia, or trimming greenbacks at tho
Treasury at Washington, tben perhaps a fancy
fair will be given for the relief ef tbe starved out
chivalry, and Benjamin F. Butler Will, like Hay-
nau, a benefactor bf bis species, send, say a
few autographs or cartes de vieite, or tbe MS of
his proclamations against women, to the managers
of the festival. They would ieteb a handsome
price,
Tli ere are few mofe cdrioOs subjects fof speculation than that involved in the probable reception
whioh would be met wilb by the political refugee*
whom the cb.-.uces of this contest may force, ero
oog, to seek an asylum in Great Britain. We have
been, frora time immemorial, accustomed to ei-.
tend a frank hospitality to exiles of every shade
creed or party: Tbe dethroned tyrant and the escaped have been equally welcomed, Louis Phil*
lippe or Louis Napoleon Melternicb or Mnzfcini
Kossuth or Jean de Bourbon, Charles tbe Tenth
or Caussidiere, it is all one to us. We sbould be
glad to harbor Soillouque, we should be happy to
see Juarez, and if His Holiness tbe Pope turned
up some morning at Mivart's, Exeter Hall would
leave its card upon him and try to convert him.-"
Abraham Lincoln in London would be a lion, and
Mr. Beresford Hope, tbe Marquis of Bath, and
Loid Robert Cecil Would be prolific of civilities to
Jefferson Davis.
But how would tt be it Benjamin F. Butler
came among us? Would there be one spot on English, or French, or Italian ground where he conld
Bud rest for the sole of his fool? I seem to hear
the managers of the Grand Hotel at tbe Louvre
saying they were very sorry, but they had not a
single bed e«t, aod hundreds of guests vowing that
they would pack up and leave immediately il Butler
were harbored. I seem io see the waiters at the tab'
les d'hotes and eafts turning away from bim. I seem
to hear the whole European continent ctying out
ihat Benjamin I*. Bailer is a pariah and an out'
law.

"War la Disunion.**
The political results of the present years ere
the most important in the annals of the world.
Never before have interests of such magnitude
been snbmited to the rulers of the nation. Tbey
sbonld be decided not by selfish magnates, governed by ambition and regardless of tbe welfare of
the subject—not by tbe leaders now wielding the
power of the nation, which for four years they
have not ceaBed to abuse—but by the voice of the
people freed from ibe yoke of tyranny ; the people, deeply interested in all that concerns the
national welfare,intelligent to perceive, aDd, we
trust, courageous to withstand the insidious
dangers which menace the liberties of the country, and threaten with servitude them aud tbeir
posterity. While an appeal is possible to an intelligent people, deeply aad personally interested
in the event tbeir intelligent choice will decide,
the patriot need not despair of the country. It
is only needed to enligbted the patriotic masses.
Let them once conceive the importance of the
Presidential election, and all will be well.
Under a monarchy the only hope of saving tbe
country from ruin would lie in the armed resistance to the ambitious officials who are abusing
power for the furtherance of selfish aims, burling
them, by revolution, from the position tbey have
disgraced. But, in America, convince tbe honest
masses, and arouse them to action, and their omnipotent voice overthrows with a breath the despotism which manacles a free people.
What are the issues involved in the pending
Presidential election ? It is not a question of tbis
or that man to fill tbe Presidential chair ; of this
party or lhat to bold position of trust; but it is
a question whether tbe country shall again be
prosperous, or be overwhelmed in ruin—whether
hecatombs shall continue to be sacrificed on tbe
altar ol strile, perishing in vain, or peace shall
smile again upon tbe land, and harmony reign
ODce more where discord now hojds sway. It is a
question whether we shall maintain the liberty
achieved by tbe heroes of the Revolution, and embalmed b? the sages of the Republic in that noble Constitution wbich gave the country two generations of peace and unexampled prosperity, or
loose all constitutional freedom, and be subject
to the sway of leaders wielding irresponsible power, baBed on coercion and upheld by military force
embodied in tbe negro bayonets. These are some
of tbe questions tbe people are to decide in the
pending election ; and that decision will not merely affect the destiny of this country, or tbis age,
but tbe destiny of the world, and the cause of advancement throughout all time.
The first iesue that presents itself to the mind, is
tbe question of peace or war. And this is not a
question of restoring tbe Union by war; but
whether tbe Government shall continue vain efforts,
whose only result is. and will ever be, the fruitless
waste af blood aud treasure, with tbe sole effect of
widening tbe breach it is intended to close. The
issue ia not whether Mr- Lincoln shall conquer the
South, and tben rule tbe North by the votes of
bogus States, based oo negro bayonets—he may
partially occupy Stales enough during the present campaign to eneble bim to secure his own
election by their votes of men of straw—aod he
may do tbis under the plea of military necessity
as a means of "suppressing tbe rebellion," but tbe
South will remain uoconquered, though the liberties of the North be lost. Tbe question is not of
conquering tbe South. Every mind not blinded by
prejudice or ambition, must see tbat by all tbe
probabilities of military science, that is impossible.
The issue before the Northern people now is
whether by a return to conservative principles
peace shall be restored, or whether the best energies ot the nation shall be sacrificed in vain, ita
resources wasted, and tbe fresh young blood of its
best and bravest hearts be poured ont like water,
all to no purpose but to fertilize the soil and crimson the streams of the Southern land.
The South cannot be restored to the Union by
force. Douglas never uttered a truth reoie pregnant witb wisdom than when he exclaimed in
oracular tone, "war is disunion;" memorable
words, uttered in one of those sunflashes of prescience wbich sometimes burst upon souls of lofty
genius. War is disunion', memorable truth,
wbicb future ages will receive aB an axiom, and
republics will blazon on their banners as a warning against tbe perils of strife. When all else
associated with Douglas is lost, buried amid the
rubbish of time, he will be remembered away down
in tbe centuries to come—tbose ages of happiness
and peace—as the sage, who standing beside tbe
gulf that was beginning to yawn in the midst oi
his country, uttered the memorable words of warning, and died with the noblest thoughts of his
giant mind fresh upon his lips, the crowning utterance of a royal intellect : "War is Disunion."
Yes, war is disunion. God never designed Republics to be cemented with blood. Like all high
and noble things tbey partake of the nature of
Heaven-descended troth, whose triumphs are all
bloodless. Tbese modern Uzzlah•, R. R. Provines was unanimously chosen corresponding Secretary.
On motion, Mr. M. A. Braley was declared tbe
unanimous choice of tbe Committee for Treasurer.
For Vice Presidents, W.H.Lyon, of Sau Joaquin and J. C. Goods, oi Sacramento were placed
in nomination, aod unanimously elected.
The following resolution, offered by W. O.
Burch, of Trinity, was adopted.
Resolved, That seven of the Committee shall
constitute a quorum to transact all business. Pro-
vided that to nominate candidates the vote of two
thirds of the Committee in person or by prosy,
shall be necessary.
Oo motion, a vote of thanks was tendered J.
W. Coffroth, the late Chairman of tbe Committee,
for tbe able and effcient mauner ih which he had
discharged tbe duties of his position.
After Borne discussion on the part ef Messrs.
White, Whalon, Provines, Sawyer,Yokum, Gough,
and Gelwicks, the following resolutions, offered
by J. C. Burch, were unanimonsly adopted 1
Resolved, Tbat a State Convention of the Democracy of California be, aud tbe same is hereby
called to meet iu tbe city of San Francisco, on
Tuesday, the 16tb day of August, 1864, for the
purpose of nomiualing au Electoral ticket; aod
it is hereby recommended tbat the delegates to
said State Convention be by tbeir respective counties authorized to meet in separate District Conventions, and nominate candidates for Congress
for tbeir respective districts, at the same time aud
place-
Resolved, That tbe qualifications of participants
in the selection of delegates to said Convention
shall be—That they shall support the platform and
nominees of the national Democratic Convention,
to be held at Chicago on the fourth ol July next.
Resolved, Tbat tbe apportionment of delegates
to said State Convention shall be tbe same as tbat
adopted by the last Democratic State Central Com
inittee ; provided, tbat the new ocuuties created
at the last session of tbe Legislature s'all be al
lowed three delegates each to Baid Convention.
Oo motion, it was ordered that tbe Chairman
and Secretary of tbe State Central Committee address letters to the Chairmen of the differeut
counties of the State, requesting them to use all
efforts to induce tbe Democracy of tbeir various
counties to subscribe lo Democratic papers.
On motion, it was further ordered that the President and Secretary of the State Central Committee be authorized to collect assessments for the
purposes of the "campaign.
No further business being in order, the meeting
then adjourned.

W. D. Sawyer, Secretary.

Tbe Doctrine of Retaliation*
The letter of Mr. Yallandigham will stir np the
bile of abolitionism beyond all former example.
Let them growl. It will be more profitable to
study it carefully. They should understand it
well, for it concerns them more than any other
c'asB io the community. The army was to be
poisoned against ns, and made to believe that we
were enemies as bitter and as hostile as the Southern soldiers, lacking only the courage or opportunity to make us as dangerous. For several
years tbe plan has been carried out by all tbe
leading abolition orators and editors. Tbe first
step in tbe programme was to exclude every paper
from the army but Abolition papers, in order that
the truth might not reach the soldiers.
A miserable administration and a few pliant
tools in the shape of political generals, made this
first step easy ot accomplishment; and the armies
ofthe country, for nearly two years, have been fed
solely and exclusively upon tbe infamous falsehoods and calumnies spread before tbem in tbe
foulest sheets ot the country. Every aot, every
word, every sentiment of ours went to tbe army
brough the distorted medium of Abolitionism.
We were daily denounced for two years as "traitors." It was pretended that illegal organisations
were in existence throughout tbe country, whose
objects were active co operation with the Southern army. When our armies were defeated, we
were said to be in tbe streets rejoicing; and- in
mourning when the same fate overtook tbe armies
ofour enemies, We were held up as In tbe rear,
hostile to the men who had gooe forth from our
own city and county, and mediating schemes
against the families and relationsethey have left
behind. The inveution and malice of Abolitionism exhausted itself in false insinuation, lies, forgeries and iniquities of every description, to
achieve the one grand object—the poisoning of
tbe army against their fellow-citizens.
The end of Ablitionism has been accomplished
to some extent. The army has been poisoned
against us by fraud, by force, and by forgery. Tbe
next great step was to Use tbe array against us,
when we had become too powerful to be oVefaWed
or hurt by the cowards at home. A good opportunity presented itself in many localities when the
furloughed soldiers oame home. Many of tbe men
believed Wbat bad beeu so frequently repeated,
and never denied, so far as they were able to find
out, have come borne hostile to us. Doea Abolitionism hope to stir up the tumult and then quietly slink away under the pretence of disapprobation?
Does it believe us so silly as tojeonsider the soldiers
whom tbey may instigate against us aa tbe chief
criminals? Let it not deoive itself. Tbe mass of
tbe Democracy have too- much sense. We kuow
where the real guilt Met. We know, and have
known many years, tbe instigators of tbe violence.
Hence we have come to the eonoloslon, sifter
waiting nearly three years of justice of some kind
or otber, to fail back upon tbe well-known aud
elementary principle of self-defense, the doeirine
of retaliation upon the persons and property of
those who are inciting by thiir language the
\ vicknee whieh we Bufltsr;—Dayton Elnpire.
Sala on Butler.
George Agustus Sala, tbe American correspond
dent of the London Telegraph, devotes a column
or two to Gen. Butler. He tells of certain '"ladies
of position and standing in New Orleans, who
were sent to the calaboose for making faces at a
Federal officer wbo passed along the street." Tha
correspondent then goes on to ask. "Do yon know
wbat kind of a plaoe is tbe calaboose?" and tha
answer is; "It is the common and filthy Bridewell of New Orleans, where ibe most debauched
characters are confined, and where qnadroon slave
giils are sent by their owners to be flogged."
Ere many days I may bear something more definite regarding the achievements of this notorious
person. Meanwhile it is, perhaps, to be regretted
tbat oil comstances should be so much against
him. He may be the kindliest of living inen, bnt
lo his photograph be bas certainly a countenance
more villainous than was ever seen out of Madame
Tassaud's chamber of horrors. Imagine the Grand
Duke Constautine--not the present one, but Nicholas's brother—grafted on the late Mr. Manning.
Tbere, facially, ypo bave Benjamin F. Boiler.
But what is there in a man's face? It is seldom
the index lo his'mind. Sir Hudson Lowe bad the
appearance of the hyena, and yet everybody
knows bim to have been a high-minded and humane character. Haynatf was disagreeably tika a
cat-a-mountaio; yet I haVe heard Austrian officers
declare that the late Field Marshal had been scandalously belled, and that he never bad aught to
do with the outrage of Madame de Maderspaehfi
At Hambnrg his memory is yet cherished—not by
the administration of tbe Kursnal, bnt by all philanthropists; for Winniug twenty thousand florins
at rouge et noir, he gave ten thousand to the poor
of the town*
When tbe Southern planters are all reduced to
beggary, when down-east pedleffl loaf in their Ver*
andahs, and Wall street brokers gather tbeir cotton crops, when their wives are glad to nurse babies of tlie c< d-fish aristocracy of Boston, and.
the''shoddy''aristocracy of New York, and their
daughters are toiling at tbe sewing machines of
Philadelphia, or trimming greenbacks at tho
Treasury at Washington, tben perhaps a fancy
fair will be given for the relief ef tbe starved out
chivalry, and Benjamin F. Butler Will, like Hay-
nau, a benefactor bf bis species, send, say a
few autographs or cartes de vieite, or tbe MS of
his proclamations against women, to the managers
of the festival. They would ieteb a handsome
price,
Tli ere are few mofe cdrioOs subjects fof speculation than that involved in the probable reception
whioh would be met wilb by the political refugee*
whom the cb.-.uces of this contest may force, ero
oog, to seek an asylum in Great Britain. We have
been, frora time immemorial, accustomed to ei-.
tend a frank hospitality to exiles of every shade
creed or party: Tbe dethroned tyrant and the escaped have been equally welcomed, Louis Phil*
lippe or Louis Napoleon Melternicb or Mnzfcini
Kossuth or Jean de Bourbon, Charles tbe Tenth
or Caussidiere, it is all one to us. We sbould be
glad to harbor Soillouque, we should be happy to
see Juarez, and if His Holiness tbe Pope turned
up some morning at Mivart's, Exeter Hall would
leave its card upon him and try to convert him.-"
Abraham Lincoln in London would be a lion, and
Mr. Beresford Hope, tbe Marquis of Bath, and
Loid Robert Cecil Would be prolific of civilities to
Jefferson Davis.
But how would tt be it Benjamin F. Butler
came among us? Would there be one spot on English, or French, or Italian ground where he conld
Bud rest for the sole of his fool? I seem to hear
the managers of the Grand Hotel at tbe Louvre
saying they were very sorry, but they had not a
single bed e«t, aod hundreds of guests vowing that
they would pack up and leave immediately il Butler
were harbored. I seem io see the waiters at the tab'
les d'hotes and eafts turning away from bim. I seem
to hear the whole European continent ctying out
ihat Benjamin I*. Bailer is a pariah and an out'
law.
